Good point, which is why I used the qualifier "arguably" in my post.  Obviously, many hit songs are not within the "R&B" vein as much as most of The Rolling Stones' tunes are, but many hit songs were not always necessarily "rock 'n' roll" songs either (depending on who one asks).  I agree, however, that it is an over-simplification to assert that all popular music is descended from the music of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the blues legends who preceded them, but a great deal of it is.  There are certainly many other influences such as jazz, folk, musical theater  classical, etc.

Irony. The Bee Gees did disco, and we ran for cover. The Stones did disco, and we danced to it.

Yeah... emulating the greats like Muddy, John Lee, Little Richard, etc... was clearly a bad move for "white boys".  How dare they start that whole damn British Invasion thing and rewrite the history of Rock and Roll.

He has no point and certainly no originality.  The joke is tired and shows that the OP is older at heart than any of the members of the Rolling Stones.

Miss you so much, Cynaera...

All you naysayers SHUT IT.
One of the greatest and influential rock songs of all time.
Quit whining and over-analyzing...just ENJOY!

My 16 year old brother recorded a cover of this for his music class project.

It was pretty good actually he screams about Puerto Rican girls well.

There is hope for the next generation.

The harp player on this tune, Sugar Blue, recorded the song on one of his albums.  He's a great player.  I think you can hear more of this song, and him, on the 12" single of "Miss You."

You mean like when white rock dudes play the blues/jazz...that is the one of the traditions of white musicians..make their version of "black" music. think Elvis, Eric Clapton on and on on right into the modern era w/ Hip Hop

Sorry Proclivities, but Do Ya Think and Myst Achieve often followed Miss You in the clubs I hung out - which normally played punkier stuff - because of the groove. 

Give Chrissie's dance song another spin.

That's right.  When you are the Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll Band you can get away with this.

As long as he doesn't play Do Ya Think I'm Sexy we are cool.

Yup, agreed...this was a greatness, a true mesmerizing phenomenon, something they never quite came anywhere close to after...and just for this, their only work I think that was easy to leave in the 8-track, then cassette player, all day, I loved them!

One way to get the Stones to retire would be if everyone referred to their songs as "ditties."

The MP3s of those 'extended' versions are readily available all over the web (file sharing sites, especially). I have a version that's over 8 minutes with all kinds of different lyrics.

The Miss You lyrics went something like:

"you've just been strung out for too long
you know, girls will come and go
they're just like street cars "

The Rolling Stones - some of my favourites, painted 1977 in oil.
The portraits of Keith, Bill, Mick, Charlie & Ronnie are from the "Black & Blue"-era, also I added the two earlier members Brian Jones and Mick (Taylor).
